I watched my all time favourite film with the boy MTDS this afternoon, THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. First off the Blu-ray looks great and really adds to the viewing experience of the film. I love this film on so many levels, from it's anti-god and anti-religious stance, it's set design and lighting that borrow so much from German Expressionism right through to some of the borderline hysteria that passes as acting from some of the cast. The film positively drips with images of death, funeral rites and resurrection. I also like the very knowing camp humour that runs throughout the film which is often mixed with the macabre.
